Am I the only person that hates this? It's a fan film so I'm not going to list some cheap visual effects or bad acting as negatives.
1.) Why is Samus a wimp? She pulls the most ridiculous faces and is scared of everything. She's not really the badass silent bout hunter we all love.
2.) Why did they go with a Retro 1970s Alien type look? I know Metroid took heavy inspiration from that franchise but the interior of her ship... why does it look like that and the video feeds and the space maps. That doesn't fit in the Metroid style.
3.) The way Samus acts doesn't match her movements. Jessica Chobot is scared and wimpy whereas America Young (motion capture actress) moved a lot like Samus in the Prime games.
This final point isn't necessarily a negative on the film but the fans.
4.) Why is this Samus better than Other M? Everything about Samus in Other M makes more sense for a silent bounty hunter, but the best characterisation of Samus was in the Prime games. I think it was Metroid Prime 2 but remember when Samus rescues those Aliens and they are all gathered around her and she just walks off and raises her hand and that's it. That's so badass. What I'm trying to say is I think a lot of fans are blinded by excitement because Jessica Chobot's Samus acts nothing like Samus whereas the Other M Samus is close to how I imagined her but not necessarily her perfect characterisation.
Final Final point
5.) Why would you pick Jessica Chobot? Jesus...

I would have picked a more "spunky" actress.

I would have picked a more "spunky" actress. I would've preferred spunky. It's hard casting Samus because she's unique in the sense that a lot of her character comes from her silence and movement, that's why I hated that they chose to her have her react audibly at everything as well as look so worried for like 90% of the fan film.
